Chinese actress Li Bingbing is in Kenya to bring attention to the growing problem of elephants slaughtered for the international ivory trade. Bingbing on Tuesday urged governments and consumers to combat the illegal wildlife trade. She told a news conference that Africa's poaching crisis raises major concerns about the survival of elephants and rhinos in Kenya. She noted that such deaths are linked to organized crime and the funding of armed militias.
Former NBA star Yao Ming has also visited Kenya to raise awareness about the ivory trade. Most African ivory is shipped to Asia, especially to China.
The United Nations says the number of elephants illegally killed in Africa has doubled in 10 years.
Bingbing has starred in high-profile English-language films, including "Resident Evil" and "The Forbidden Kingdom."

To customize the information displayed on your GX, you'll first need a plug-in to get the desired information from your specific program. Many plug-ins have already been written for popular programs, please see the LCDStudio forums for a complete list. For plug-ins that don't already exist, the LCDStudio site contains both a request thread, and a how-to on plug-in creation. In either case, it is a good idea to research API and/or SDK information about your program to understand what information it makes available to the outside world, and how. When scripting a custom variable, you can retrieve data information using a plug-in and program what you would like to do with that information. The following example provides instructions on how to take data from a gmail plug-in.
Using a gmail plug-in, a script can be created to display new, unread email messages. You'll need to install the gmail plugin in order to retrieve data from your gmail. Once the plug in is installed, follow the steps below to display data onscreen.
First, go to the "Data View" tab in LcdStudio. You can right click in the area and the option saying "Add Custom Variable" should pop up. Here, under "Tree location", you can provide the name of the new Tree that will be available on the left hand side. The "Key" is used to reference the custom variable in the design files. Once your "Tree" and "Key" have been written, you can press "Ok". A new window will open up allowing you to write your own code and drag and drop data items.
The next step is to get the email data. First, select the data you want to display. This could either be the last message author, or the time you received your newest email, etc. Attaining the data is simple. All you have to do is select the data from the data tree, and drag it into the script window. For example, to attain the last message time data, you simply open open up the GmailPlugin in the data tree. Then you click and drag the "LastMsgTime" into the scripting area. Get data code will be generated for you once this is done. You can use the "Test" button to see what will be returned. Once this is done, you can change the key name, and the tree location. You can then drag this new custom item to your display and the message time of your newest email will be displayed on screen.

During the last 20 years, internet options have improved and continue to get better year after year. If a company has been stuck with one option, it's probably time to search anew. With so many advancements in technology, it's easy to miss out on things like key upgrades and great packages. Nevertheless, each option has its own limitations. For instance, availability could be an issue. The business internet service in Pelion, SC may be proficient, but have an inadequate distribution network. Therefore, before making a choice, it is imperative that a company conducts thorough research on the numerous ISP choices available in their immediate area. The most popular types of Internet services are fixed wireless, satellite, T1, optic, fiber, and DSL.
The majority of business ISPs in Pelion, SC do not offer Internet alone. They provide a number of services as a complete package. Therefore, it is better to look for an Internet provider that offers a complete package. Email, business web hosting, and business phone service can be included. Not only is such a package convenient, it's a money saver for a business as well. This type of package should not be difficult to find, as many ISPs offer a full service package. For example, they will manage various functions for a business like support and service. If the provider is well experienced with a professional staff, expenses should be cut-down, which eliminates the need to hire a separate staff. In due course, business operational costs are greatly reduced.
A company should hire an Internet provider that provides consulting services and personal visits to the business to properly evaluate any needs. The ISP will usually offer sound advice about factors that will improve the productivity of the company like making upgrades to existing technologies. A competent ISP firm will counsel a business on the amount of bandwidth it needs, and may also include options aimed at managing devices remotely.
Many businesses can't afford to wait hours for data downloads and uploads to finish. Low-speed access costs less, but it may waste time and increase labor expenses. This is more likely to be a problem if the connection must be split among numerous devices. It's wise to carefully estimate bandwidth needs at times when the greatest number of employees simultaneously go online. Companies that provide free Wi-Fi access also need to consider customer usage.
Pelion, SC businesses should ask ISPs if they cap bandwidth or use throttling. Download speeds may drop to a certain level when firms exceed a specific amount of bandwidth. Companies also ought to find out if downloads are limited at certain hours of the day. An internet service provider's terms and conditions may reveal additional limitations. A promotional headline that makes reference to "unlimited" access could be deceptive.
Some commercial internet providers in Pelion, SC offer backup services. They can recover lost data when equipment failures occur in the office. Numerous firms continue to make and store their own backups. However, an off-site service generally provides greater protection. This can prevent the loss of crucial data if a fire or flood destroys the office. It's best if the off-site backup is located in a distant facility.
Desirable business internet providers include security software or services with access. Businesses can benefit from anti-spyware, anti-virus and anti-spam features when they choose these companies. Be sure to learn about and read reviews of the specific security systems that an ISP uses to protect its clients. Some providers include software that also safeguards portable devices like smartphones and tablets.
Businesses of all kinds rely on internet reliability. Such businesses stand to lose a lot if there is any kind of slow down. You should always choose an internet connection that facilitates sales and productivity of your employees.
You should consider choosing an internet provider in Pelion, SC that offers a Service Level Agreement. The contract guarantees your business uninterrupted uptime. Make sure that you know the solutions when you internet connectivity is slow or interrupted. Most internet providers offer their clients credits off the bill if the internet is interrupted for a long time. Moreover, you should ask whether the internet provider has a phone line for businesses. It is important to know how competent the tech personnel is at handling any problem that may arise.
Wirefly enables you to compare different internet plans in Pelion, SC. In addition, try to find out what has worked for other clients in the past. You will be able to make a clear judgment based on experience of other consumers. There may be new service providers. Therefore, do not settle for the second best option.
The choices that you have are reliant on the location of the business, in this case, Pelion, SC. Limited options should not prevent you from performing an in-depth analysis is still needed. It guarantees the business gets the best available service.
One also needs to determine if their ISP is prepared for new technological changes. Internet network technology is constantly evolving, and a competent ISP should upgrade their services to incorporate these changes. One of the upcoming technologies to look out for is IPv6, an internet protocol that was built to replace IPv4. IPv4 is limited on the number of devices it can support. IPv6 on the hand can support an unlimited number of devices. With the exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and more devices getting connected to the internet IPv6 utilization is set to increase. IPv6 makes it easier to connect devices to the internet as each device can be assigned a public IP address. When selecting an ISP, it is vital to consider all the issues that have been discussed.

I love to use humor when I speak--in everyday life, presentations, and formal speeches. It's worth considering why this is a good thing, and when to use it before you plunge in.
Speechwriter and commentator Peggy Noonan wishes more speakers used humor wisely and well. Speaking about political campaigns, but applicable to your next speech, she says:
A voter laughing is half yours, and just received a line he can repeat next weekend over a beer at the barbecue or online at Starbucks. Here is a fact of American politics: If you make us laugh we spread your line for free....When two people meet, as they come to know each other as neighbors or colleagues, one of the great easers, one of the great ways of making a simple small human connection is: shared laughter....fill that area with humor: sly humor, teasing humor, humor that speaks a great truth or makes a sharp point.So, just how do you do that, as a speaker? Here's my guidance:
- Don't confuse making fun of someone with humor: Humor that hurts others or undermines them isn't funny--particularly when they're sitting right in front of you, and you have the microphone. You may make yourself laugh, but you'll distance yourself--rather than connect--with the audience. A quick test: How would you react if you were in the audience and your worst enemy said that about you while she was speaking? If it doesn't pass that test, don't use it.
- Consider how well you know your audience: Humor is nearly always a risk--so think first about what you know about your audience and tailor the humor accordingly. This need not hold you back from using humor, but consider it when you decide how far to take your humorous contribution.
- Deadpan: Deadpan humor takes work, and requires that you know your audience and whether they'll get it. But when it works, it's delightful. (Think of Leslie Nielsen's "Don't call me Shirley.") Deadpan humor can be a great way to keep a situation or exchange from being too tense or heavy.
- Summarize with humor: I gave a talk about using social media for professional career networking, and got a tortured question from an audience member who had been told by a colleague that if she posted a profile on LinkedIn, "everyone will think you're job-hunting." There was a lot I could say, but I kept it to two points: "That person probably wanted to keep you from being his competition. Listen: Employers are fickle. Social media is your friend." That got a good chuckle from the audience, and summed it up better than anything else I could have said.
- Use the humor when it can bring the audience together: I like to use an icebreaker that gets a small group up on their feet, and tricks them into choosing someone else to be the actual volunteer. Everyone laughs once they get the joke, and I usually say, "I just made five new friends" of the people who didn't actually have to come up front. (We also give applause to both groups.)
- Fill an awkward gap: When a speaker brushed past a large Irish crystal award intended to be presented to the evening's honoree and sent it off the stage, breaking into a million pieces, the emcee turned to the honoree and said, "You're going to receive more pieces of Irish crystal than anyone in history." If you can make lemonades out of lemons in that way, go with the humorous take. I've done the same when I've been ill during a conference, and fellow attendees knew it; when I got to speaking, I said, "Normally I like to display a lot of infectious enthusiasm about my topic, but if you don't mind, let's skip the infectious part and get on with the enthusiasm." It was a gentle way to acknowledge, then dismiss, my illness and keep it from interfering with the presentation.

[Fading Suns] Player/Character motivations & a question
November 10, 2003, 12:38:15 PM »
I ran another Fading Suns session this past weekend where something really interesting happened. First some background: There were two relatively new players in the game who had both made fighter type characters; a Li-Halan knight engaged in fighting the rebellion on Rampart and her Brother-Battle confessor (Brother Battle is the militant arm of the church, she had a BB confessor assigned to her because her adventuring managed to get her previous two confessors killed).
Anyway, the game was pretty much a one-off action/adventure session that would give the new characters a chance to be in the limelight a bit. The scenario involved terrorists siezing the bullet-train the characters were traveling on and planting a nuclear weapon on it that was timed to blow up when the train reached te planet's capital.
Anyway I had given the players a few hooks. They knew that while there were 30 or so bad guys, there were sixteen cars on the train. They also had captured a few bad guys and had access to their communications. But even then most of them were inclined to sit around and despair - when one of the characters made a big stirring rousing speech to get them off their ass.
Really what I saw happening here was the whole lazy player thing - the whole "well my character wouldn't get involved...." excuse. What really impressed me was how the one player realized out of game that if the PC's did nothing it'd make for a boring evening, so she went ahead and "nudged" her character into a course of action. In Forge terms, I'd say she hopped into Author stance for a bit. It was really cool to see.
Now here's my question - I want to gift some karmic backlash down on two characters. The first is a freemen who went ahead and murdered one of the terrorists - he came upon the BB after he had subdued two enemies and before the BB could stop him just casually picked up a rifle and shot one of them three times in the chest.
The other character (stirring speech girl) was also kind of callous about the fate of the civilians on the train. Several of them were killed as a result. I'm trying to come up with some backlash for that - it's not like what they did was legally wrong or anything; I just need to come up with a way to make the point to the players in a dramatically appropriate manner. Right now I'm thinking of possibly a sort of twisted dream sequence session (two of the characters are potent psychics, it's concievable that perhaps they could cause something like that). Figured I'd kick it out to the Forge to see what people could come up with.

What's the "backlash" meant to accomplish? Is there some theme that you're trying to hammer home? Or are you trying to punish your players for what you saw as a poor participation? I'm trying to see what good this is supposed to do before giving any suggestions.
What system are you using, the FS system, presumably?

Hey Mike,
It's not punishment at all for being lazy - I try to be positive with that. The one player will probably get an extra XP for her proactiveness.
It's very much a matter of dramatic consequences. The game we're in is very much a heroic drama - the PC's are meant to be the good guys, and good guys just don't do stuff like kill bad guys who have surrendered or ignore the hostages who are in danger.

JD, are the players aware of your definition of heroic? It sounds to me like they aren't, since a hero wouldn't need much persuasion to take on terrorists. Additionally, they may have a slightly different definition of hero, since I can think of several who wouldn't be overly concerned with hostages or the survival of their enemies.
Basically, it sounds like you need to sit down and spell out how you're expecting the characters to act.
Until you're perfectly clear with the players on what you expect (and they agree), I wouldn't attempt any kind of backlash with any significance. If you just want them to consider the possible consequences of their actions, consider having them meet some of the family of victims. Perhaps one of the dead terrorists was a poor scared kid caught up in the wrong crowd.
I would avoid anything more harsh unless the players specifically agree to a code of behavior (whether the characters agree to anything or not). I know I ran one campaign where I kept smacking one player/character around for similar non-heroic actions until we finally had a discussion on it. He said "Oooooohhhhh... I thought you just wanted someone basically good. I was going for the conflicted anti-hero type who would have to work out these kinds of issues over time." At which point I went "Oooooohhhhh... then don't change anything. That sounds more interesting anyway." Problem solved. No backlash needed.

Hrm just thinking about the replies I've gotten (all two of them) has gotten me more clear on what I want. Thanks!
I think I misstated myself. I don't want to punish the characters so much as have them dramatically have to face what they're doing. I suspect what I'm going to do is in the future craft events where I can be reasonably sure they'll respond in the same way as before. This time however there will be immediate repurcussions for that choice - thus causing the characters (and players) to face the consequences of their disregard for the life and safety of others. Make sense?
Probably be a lot cooler than some contrived dream sequence too.

Hi Jeff,
I was going to reply to your initial post, until I read the bit about the dream sequence and was overcome by an audible physical reaction that cat owners will recognize. Glad to hear you've decided against it.
Please tell us everything about your system/mechanics experiences with Fading Suns.

I like the fact that you are trying to make sure that the character's actions have consequences, both positive and negative. Some thoughts, with the caveat that I'm not an FS expert:
1) The freemen who. . .murdered one of the terrorists
a) Presumably this was witnessed -- it is possible that the police would bring charges. Murder is murder.
b) This terrorist happened to also be the only link to another terrorist cell who even now is preparing to strike. The players gain clues, but they would have been able to get the information faster by interrogating this one guy. They show up minutes too late and see the explosion or whatever. (Kind of like the character's failure is being added into the terrorist's' success roll for their next action.)
2)stirring speech girl was also kind of callous about the fate of the civilians on the train. Several of them were killed as a result
a) Yellow journalism from the pro-terrorist local paper: "Rampaging vigilantes slay dozens on train! Insane claims that there was a nuclear device on board provide excuse for imperial lackeys to murder for fun!"
b) Even with objective journalism you get "Amidst the celebrations, families mourn. The relief that the AcmeTerrorist plot was foiled does nothing to alleviate the grief felt by little Joshua Forge, who misses his father. 'Now I don't have anyone to play catch with. But I know the heroes did all they could to save him'"
c) Maybe they wander by a church just as the funeral is over. One of the mourners recognizes the heroes from the tri-vid and is
c1) embarassingly thankful (if the player feels ANY remorse)
c2) hysterical with grief and blames the hero

Justin's (jdagna's) question is central here. Jeff, I can't tell whether your desire is ...
- to demonstrate to the players that you'd like them to play differently to whatever extent
- to deepen and strengthen the sense of in-game causes throughout all aspects of the game, making "character" and "setting" more tightly integrated
- to pose specific kinds of adversity for the players to cope with, in the sense that whatever they do, you'll find a way for them to do something else later too
- anything else
Can you help me out about this issue? Please don't say "all of the above," which is entirely unhelpful. Which one of these (including the "anything else" if appropriate) is what you

Hi Jeff,
Great! Now I can help, I hope.
The consequences of your answer, as I see them, are these.
You don't particularly mind if the players continue to play the characters in the same manner - just as callous or callous + heroic as before. But do you see that your phrasing ...
I'm trying to come up with some backlash for that - it's not like what they did was legally wrong or anything; I just need to come up with a way to make the point to the players in a dramatically appropriate manner.
... could lead the gullible reader to infer that you do, in fact, want the players to change their ways? "The point" you want to make to the players is ... what, exactly?
Going by what you say in your recent post, changing the players' outlook in any way is not the point. The point is simply to have the game-world (characters, setting, situations) all be functioning in a satisfying way, as such.
In that case, isn't it simply a matter of prepping to satisfy your own sense of cause-and-effect in the game world? In other words, the "point" is not to be made to the players at all, but actually to your own self, in terms of how you come up with "new stuff" for them?
If that's so, then you seem all golden. Prep and enjoy. My only suggestion is not to
the previous situations in any way, as they didn't "do it wrong" or anything of the sort. Just come up with entirely new situations using NPCs and physical/logistic elements that arose from the events that were played.

I also think that it's extremely important that you tell the players about how cause and effect works in your universe. After all, it isn't obvious that killing a terrorist (even one who's surrendered) is wrong, especially when most GMs see leaving an enemy alive as a prime opportunity to have that enemy return in a stronger form later.
If you don't tell the players, you really run lots of risk with misunderstandings. Players may very well wonder why bad things keep happening. Is it just your sense of an interesting story? Will things go wrong no matter what they do? Would things be going even worse if they had been nicer?
Perhaps more importantly, you may uncover differences of expectation (as I did in my earlier post). These differences in expectation will never be resolved if everyone keeps everything "in-game" because game events don't provide a clear means of communication on these issues.
Finally, if you're trying to represent game-world causality, you should know about how these consequences will show up even before the players do something "wrong." For example, killing a surrendering terrorist should only have consequences if there are witnesses who can report it, laws or journalists who will enforce the penalty, or friends of the terrorist who will seek revenge. Deciding "That was not heroic" and then figuring out how to impose consequences is absolutely the wrong way to go about it (in my opinion). Determine situation first, and let consequences flow naturally from whatever the characters do within the situation.

Aside from social contract stuff...
The dream sequence is along the right track. But it can be more overt, more Mysterious.
Think "passion play." "Passion play." Use "passion play" as your mantra.
And if you haven't read any passion plays, do a little background reading at least on the York cycle of passion plays performed during the Feast of Corpus Christi.

Processed Meat May Kill You, Study Finds
Eating meat that has additives in it may increase your risk of dying from cancer or cardiovascular disease — especially if you live an unhealthy lifestyle as well.
THURSDAY, March 7, 2013 — Advertisements showing a juicy burger or a sandwich piled high with meats may look appealing, but those meats are often processed before being served to you and, according to a new study published in the journal BMC Medicine, may be deadly.
Meats, especially those served in fast food restaurants, are often processed with additional additives such as salt, nitrate, phosphates or sweeteners to add flavor or extend shelf life. Researchers looked at nearly half a million people from 10 European countries over two decades and found that the more processed meat that a person consumed, the higher their risk of premature death from cancer and cardiovascular disease.
"Overall, we estimate that 3 percent of premature deaths each year could be prevented if people ate less than 20 grams of processed meat per day," Sabine Rohrmann, PhD, study author and assistant professor of chronic disease epidemiology at the University of Zurich, said in a statement.
Twenty grams, which is less than an ounce, is far less processed meat than the average American eats, said Howard Weintraub, MD, a clinical associate professor in the department of medicine at the Leon H. Charney Division of Cardiology at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City.
Processed meat generally includes all smoked and cured meat, such as ham, bacon, and sausage, according to the study, but also includes meat that has added salt, such as deli meats, and meat from fast food restaurants, which often contains preservatives.
"These effects obviously come as a consequence of these chemicals that are used as preservatives," Dr. Weintraub said. "It's also not surprising that eating processed meats, which are going to be fattier and saltier, will clog your arteries or give you cancer."
People in the study who ate a lot of processed meat were also more likely to live unhealthy lifestyles— they smoked, they didn't exercise, they ate poorly, and they drank alcohol — all of which can raise your risk for cancer or cardiovascular disease, Rohrmann said.
And while eating processed meat may not be good for you, eating meat can be part of a healthy diet, said Dr. Rohrmann says. Even though eating steak and other fatty meats consistently may hurt your health, they do provide some nutrients. To avoid negative health effects while still getting the nutrients you need, she recommends eating meat that has either not been processed at all or has only been minimally processed.
"Meat is rich in important minerals and vitamins," she said. "My recommendation is to lower processed meat intake. Most importantly, quit smoking, be physically active and keep a normal body weight."
Weintraub agrees, saying that it's okay to occasionally indulge in a lean cut of meat that's cooked in a way that lets fat drain off, such as grilling or broiling — especially if it means you eat it instead of processed meat.
"I think minimizing your intake of saturated fat is important, but I think it's more important to minimize your intake of processed meat," he said. "I'd rather someone tell me they're going to have a small piece of beef than a piece of processed meat because of how salty and fatty they are."
"Eating at home and eating simple is a good idea," Weintraub added. And if you are going to enjoy a steak, "Make sure that the meat occupies no more than a third of your plate, and that your plate is filled the rest of the way with veggies," he said.

I watched the Royal wedding as many of my Queens neighbors. Iwas in awe of the extravagance of the event. The cost of the wedding, depending on the source, ran from 16 to 34 million dollars and all the way up to 70 million if you add the cost of security.
Meanwhile Britain is facing a $6 billion deficit.
Now, I do wish Prince William and his wife Kate the best and may they have a long life as husband and wife, for that in itself is a wonderful thing. It is just that I feel that the opulence was a bit much.
This is because I feel there is much poverty, hunger and homelessness due to these difficult economic times.
England is facing this as well as other countries.
The money spent could have been better used to help the most in need in Britain. I think the wedding could have been tone down a bit in this regard. But that is just my humble opinion.

I began this Journal in order to discipline my thinking ... [but] I soon came to see that the practice of reflection alone ... would, for me, be fruitless.He needed a more exacting method in writing to obtain
(1) for precision (2) to prevent mere word-mosaic and self-deception, (3) to collect notions into system, (4) to create a habit and a relation between thinking and writing, and (5) to collect from these records a reservoir of more codified ideas on which to base the judgements, I am so often called upon for in conversation" (xviii).He hoped that this would lead to "the ability to reflect without writing and build up the power of 'unflurried thinking' in the thousand occasions in the daily life" (xviii).
I consider Wilder's fourth function of a journal, "to create a habit and a relation between [reading,] thinking and writing," as its most essential function. I don't think Wilder would have disagreed, for he wrote on May 21, 1940 that he has the "habit-formed impulse" to reach for a book to read and wishes that he also had such an habit-formed impulse to write. Wilder's Journal is, among other things, an attempt at such re-education or re-habituation, to make writing just as likely as reading.
He used the journal also to make his ideas more precise and develop what he calls "the accumulation of an interrelated grammar of 'reflections'". It's something I also aim for.
I came to Wilder's journals through Doderer's Commentarii, and I tried to read Wilder's journals in their entirety. But I found them rather disappointing. This must be my fault, as others have found that Wilder's journals contain "some of his most important creative work." And:
It is in the journals and letters that we can follow his most interesting thinking as he distills and reports his literary reactions and tastes. Here is the Wilder who reveres Molière and Cervantes, Gogol and Kafka, Nietzsche and Lady Murasaki. And Jane Austen: "How seldom readers seem to remark on all that contempt for the whole human scene that lies just under the surface"; her "only resource and consolation is the pleasure of the mind in observing absurdities" (Robert Gottlieb).

A multinational security firm has secretly developed software capable of tracking people's movements and predicting future behaviour by mining data from social networking websites.
A video obtained by the Guardian reveals how an "extreme-scale analytics" system created by Raytheon, the world's fifth largest defence contractor, can gather vast amounts of information about people from websites including Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare.
Raytheon says it has not sold the software – named Riot, or Rapid Information Overlay Technology – to any clients.
But the Massachusetts-based company has acknowledged the technology was shared with US government and industry as part of a joint research and development effort, in 2010, to help build a national security system capable of analysing "trillions of entities" from cyberspace.

Empowering psychiatric survivors
As the activist at the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape (TRCC/MWAR) who gets the awesome privilege of being in leadership of the annual event, Take Back the Night, my brain is already on themes for the event (TBTN is a global event which happens in many cities to protest our right to walk the streets free of violence).
I reflected on the idea of counseling in this city. As a counselor, I keep seeing women, trans people, youth and children accessing support from psychiatrists and institutions, and taking more prescribed drugs for what folks are being diagnosed with. So I thought a Take Back the Night event about the pathologizing/medicalizing of our experiences of violence would make sense. More and more, I see that survivors of sexual violence, lesbian, gay, bi, trans and queer people, poor people, young people, and so many more are being diagnosed with things like depression, schizophrenia, bipolar, divided disorder, ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder), borderline personality, etc. Further, there are already many movements in Toronto that are making central the issue of psychiatric survivorship and the links between our bodies, our identities, psychiatric pharmaceuticals, electroshock, mental health institutions and the medicalization of our minds.
On May 6th, I went to an event/protest called Occupy Psychiatry, planned by Voices Against Psychiatric Assault and Occupy Toronto. The following is the speech I read at the event:
Hello, my name is deb singh and I am an activist and counselor at the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape. I want to begin by saying thank you to the Coaltion Against Psychiatric Assault and Occupy Toronto for having the TRCC/MWAR speak at this event. I also want to say thank you to all those who identify with the issues presented at today's protest, those who are living with or loving someone who has been affected by the medicalization of our minds and thanks to you for making your experiences an activist issue through planning this event. i would also like to acknowledge that we are on Indigenous land of the Mississauga New Credit territories of the Anishnaabe peoples. At the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape, we are affected by the medicalization and psychiatrization of the mental health model. We are survivors who have been diagnosed with mental health disorders because we are survivors of sexual violence, domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse and institutional violence. We are survivors who have been discarded, incarcerated, stigmatized and invisibilized by the medical system of mental health. We are voices to our own struggle, who have been disempowered by the very institutions that say they are here to "help" (a colonial term at that). We are Indigenous women, women of colour, queer/trans/lesbian/bisexual people, we are cisgender men, we are poor, we have disAbilities. We are courageous. As a counselor at the TRCC/MWAR, we have watched institutions give women electroshock, stigmatize women in ways that further impact their lives, perpetuate violence on womens bodies, incarcerate women against their will and take away her freedom to live in her reality, as it is. We have also seen the money that gets poured into the psychiatrization of our lives, through the building of more mental health prisons, more "research" on mental health "disorders" and more drugs to subdue us into submission. We have also seen less money go to organizations and groups that provide peer based, feminist, anti-oppressive counseling. We have seen places like rape crisis centres and the Women's Counseling, Referral and Education centre close its doors due to quote, lack of funding. But those of us who are here now know this is not about lack of funding. This is about social control, medicalizing our experiences of survivorship, criminalizing poor people through psychiatric incarceration and promoting psychiatry. SHAME! As a 38-year-old organization, the TRCC/MWAR continues to take leadership from communities who idenify as survivors of the psychiatry. We are aligned with survivors who have been told they have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). We are aligned with folks who have been diagnosed and both do, as well as don't, agree/believe in their diagnosis. We are aligned with what survivors believe is the right support for them, within or outside the medical model of psychiartry. We believe survivors are the best resources for ourselves. We are against the state's insistence that they know the answer to our "problems": by the swallow of a pill or by a shock to our brains. We know that the struggle for justice is a long road, as the brilliant Bonnie Burstow shared with me last week; that psychiatry and its medicalization is affecting the lives of every day people vastly more than even 10 years ago. At the TRCC/MWAR, we want to empower all survivors to find pathways to their own healing. That will look different for every survivor. But we believe where psychiatry is and where it is headed it not the answer for us as a local and global community. We believe the answer to healing is within ourselves. Thank you.

Earnhardt Jr. Says Keselowski A Very Good Talker
By Jeff Hood | Senior Writer
BRISTOL, Tenn. – Brad Keselowski said last week that Hendrick Motorsports might be fudging on the rules directed at rear ends and suspensions to gain a competitive advantage.
He backed off those comments somewhat Thursday evening during a media function at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was asked on Friday if Keselowski, who used to drive for Earnhardt's JR motorsports in the Nationwide Series, was playing mind games with the Hendrick camp.
"No, not really," Earnhardt said. "I do know Brad pretty well. Brad is a really good guy. He has a pretty good heart.
"He is a really great race car driver and I wish he would concentrate on that. I think he likes to talk a lot, but I think his true skills shine on the race track and not really behind the microphone."
During the early days of his career, five-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson struggled mightily at Bristol Motor Speedway.
But that all changed four years ago when he adopted a new methodology for maneuvering the .533-mile oval.
"There really has been a change and it's been with me and the way I drive the car," said Johnson, who has six top 10 finishes including a victory in his last seven Bristol starts. "For the longest time, I was driving the track incorrectly and then we would build a set-up to support my driving style here. I'd get into the race and things wouldn't work. So it's a tough challenge for a driver. It doesn't matter how long you've been in the sport or what you've accomplished, there are tracks that challenge each team and driver differently than others.
"There are some tracks you to go and I know how to drive it and I roll right into a rhythm and I'm good and we're working on the right things. It didn't happen here for the longest time. I'm very happy to now understand how to drive the track so that we can tune the car the way I really need to drive it and what I need in the race. And that's been the difference."
Most Sprint Cup drivers were reluctant to offer an opinion on the type of racing the revamped surface at Bristol will produce during Saturday night's IRWIN Tools Night Race.
But Kyle Busch didn't mince words following the first Cup practice when asked about track conditions.
"I think it's terrible," Busch said. "That's about it."

Main Content
Terms hyperlinked in bold will display a definition of the term when clicked.
When a taxpayer is not satisfied with a judgment of an Indiana tax agency (like the agency that determines how much tax you pay on your house or business), the taxpayer can file an original tax appeal with the Indiana Tax Court. An original tax appeal starts when the taxpayer files a petition or request to challenge the tax amount the state has charged. If the taxpayer is unhappy with the review, he or she can appeal to the Tax Court.
In an appeal from the Department of State Revenue, the taxpayer has two options: 1) file a letter of findings, or 2) pay the tax, then file a claim for a refund, and appeal the denial of the claim for refund. If a refund claim is filed and the Department of Revenue does not act within 180 days, the claim is considered denied. For the most part, appeals from the Department of Revenue must be filed within 180 days of the letter of findings or within 90 days of the denial of the refund. Appeals from the Indiana Tax Court go directly to the Indiana Supreme Court.
After the taxpayer has filed an appeal, the Indiana Tax Court judge, like other appellate judges, will review the case and issue a written opinion. An opinion is the decision issued by the court that determines whether the government correctly taxed the taxpayer. If the taxpayer or the government does not agree with the decision of the Indiana Tax Court, either one can appeal the decision directly to the Indiana Supreme Court.

Rocker Gene Simmons can see an end in sight for his band KISS–because he doesn't want to tour forever.
The bass player admits age is taking its toll on him and he doesn't think he has many live treks left in him.
He tells the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine, "I'm 64 now. Three more tours. Two, if I have a life change of some kind."
Simmons and KISS co-founder Paul Stanley will hit the road with Def Leppard this summer. They'll also headline a big gig for fans of their new Los Angeles arena football team L.A. Kiss.
J-Connection: Gene Simmons is a Jewish rocker.


text: Considered by many as nothing more than an offshoot of the better-known '80s British outfit the English Beat, General Public still enjoyed several substantial hits on their own during their short career. Immediately after the split of the ska-pop outfit the English Beat in 1983, former members Dave Wakeling (vocals, born February 19, 1956) and Ranking Roger ("toaster," born February 21, 1961) formed General Public, which turned out to be more pop-based than its predecessor, with elements of classic Motown soul thrown in for good measure. Once former Dexy's Midnight Runners keyboardist Mickey Billingham, former Specials bassist Horace Panter, and a drummer known simply as Stoker were all enlisted, General Public was officially up and running. Signing on with the IRS label, General Public's debut album, 1984's All the Rage, was a commercial success back home, as it featured a guest appearance by former Clash guitarist Mick Jones and scored a Top 40 single with the track "Tenderness." 1986 saw the release of General Public's sophomore effort, Hand to Mouth, which failed to match expectations set by its predecessor despite spawning a pair of popular singles, "Too Much or Nothing" and "Come Again." With both Wakeling and Roger unable to agree on a musical direction, General Public split up shortly thereafter. Roger issued a solo debut in 1988, the more ska-based Radical Departure, while Wakeling contributed the title track to John Hughes' 1988 film She's Having a Baby and issued a solo album as well, 1991's General Public-esque No Warning. Roger would go on to form another outfit, Special Beat, which included musicians from the late-'70s English ska scene, but in 1994, Roger and Wakeling were asked to reunite General Public for a track on the Threesome motion picture soundtrack. A UB40-like interpretation of the Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There" was offered and became a surprise Top 40 hit. The duo remained together for a third General Public studio album, 1995's Rub It Better (produced by former Talking Heads keyboardist/guitarist Jerry Harrison), but when it sunk from sight upon release, the band split up once more. 2002 saw the release of the duo's first best-of collection, the 12-track Classic Masters. ~ Greg Prato

Since 2009 Onelife UK have opened its own DJ/ Music, Film Production and Silver Surfers Academies and have set up various bespoke programs for under achieving and deprived kids.
Our academies are housed in sports venues across London such as Crystal Palace Millwall, Chelsea, West Ham and Leyton Orient and now our very own Onelife UK Centre in South East London.
We also provide outreach programmes that run at schools and local community halls across London within deprived areas.
That thousands of young people make a real contribution every day to our society and that this in no way relates to the negative portrayals of them in media and government as being anti-social, out of control and threatening.
We believe that we need more positive portrayals of what it means to be young today.
The most vulnerable young people in our society are marginalized and treated unequally. Policies and services should focus on their current needs and ability to fulfill their potential in the long term, as well as on addressing any harm or potential harm to society.
Young people at risk of failing in the education system should be offered meaningful alternatives that provide them with the skills and confidence to succeed in the workforce.
Young offenders must be given opportunities to turn their lives around, avoid re-offending, and develop the practical and emotional skills to make a positive contribution to their communities.
Onelife UK are a London based Charity who provide essential life skills to young people in your local area through DJ/Music and Film Production academies.
We work to help vulnerable young people realise their potential and make a successful transition to adulthood.
Some of the young people we support have mental health issues, disabilities or drug and alcohol problems. Others are teenage parents, who many fall behind at school or are excluded.

If you haven't seen something like States Industries ApplePly, check it out.
It comes in several different top veneers, it's stable, has minimal voids, won't delaminate, machines up nice and has an attractive edge. It can be stained, dyed or covered in vinyl depending on taste. You may even be able to get two colored laminates which would be really neat.
Being the curious type, I've read a number of articles about DIY CNC machines. I haven't built one but I suppose you could make one large enough to work a 4' X 4' or 4' X 8' sheet of plywood to cut out all the parts. If you do it right, you can use every bit of the plywood and have minimum waste. Any time you need a particular product, all you have to do is switch to that particular file and off it goes. Also, this setup could potentially save on labor cost. Of course, it would still need QC inspection and approval.
Also, if the whole kit is made from plywood, it should have minimal warp. You can make several runs and store them away until sold. Hopefully, you can worry less about replacing warped parts. This may need some field testing.
I think it would be fantastic to see Gerstner kits sold in brick and mortar stores or companies having them in stock to sell online. Maybe spin it off under a different name if need be.
Plywood wouldn't appeal to everyone but if used right, it has a very modern look. I think the possibilities of what you can do with it would be very interesting.
On a side note, Herman Miller started selling molded plywood chairs in the 1940s. If you can find an original, they go for a small fortune.

Engine swaps can be hilarious. For ages now, there have been plenty of people doing crazy stuff like squeezing Chevy V8s into RWD Volvo wagons and propulsion from a Hayabusa in the back of a Smart. But the Porsche 911 powered by a Toyota Echo engine takes it. It's just the most ridiculously fantastic one.
Of course, this begs the question that JayHova happened to ask:
Does this mean that there's a Porsche-engined Toyota Echo somewhere out there?
m4ximusprim3 has the answer:
Found it
And then The Devil Drives a Rotary:
More likely the head studs pulled out of the 2.7L engine (Input "Porsche 2.7L engine problems" into Google) and the cylinder heads were then free of their shackles and ran away for freedom. So somewhere there are two Porsche cylinder heads on the lam, sitting on the beach sipping margaritas and enjoying their freedom.
Good job, everyone. But now I'm thinking of a Saab 96 out there with a B235R and a 9-3 Viggen running around with the Ford V4. Wouldn't that be awesome/awful?

China is known for producing a range of consumer electronics and accessories that are "inspired" by other famous, but this practice seems to repeat itself until the games released there. The online game The Legend of Dao Sheng decided to put some adventure in Western characters, but without the permission of their creators, of course. These include Kratos (God of War) and Iron Man, Marvel Comics.
This is just pathetic.China needs to get there shit together with copyright issues
wow i think its crazy how he didnt even try to change them even a little they look just like the original, except for iron man but its clearly there, smh
in the world being made in China these days, I don't think anyone will do anything about this.

Sex.. Great for your health?
I made a comment on twitter (follow me right now, @thafamousnobody) a few weeks back about people basically killing themselves being celibate for so long and people went crazy. Mostly women who already mad they can't get good sex on a daily sent me crazy replies. A lot of other women hit me with that classic line "your a man and you a think of anything to get sex." I decided to do some research and provide actual facts on it.
Sex Relieves Stress & Eases Depression- The health benefits of having sex to relieve stress and to ease depression have been proven. For men, their release calms them and sends happy chemicals to their brain. For women, absorbing semen works as a natural antidepressant and helps get rid of stress.
Relieving pain- An orgasm releases natural chemicals like endorphins in the body, both before and during climax. These endorphins have a similar chemical structure to morphine.
Weight Loss & Boosting Cardiovascular Health- Sex can burn off as much as 700 calories while less vigorous love making burns at least 200 calories. Sex also lowers blood pressure, boosting cardio health, and reduces his risk of heart attack. Lovemaking improves strength, flexibility, and muscle tone.
Organic Orgasm = 10 All Natural "Medicine Cabinet Cures -Get busy getting frisky since the big O is the all-natural medicine cabinet. If you have a headache, then bonk your way to temporary headache relief. Forget Tylenol, having a headache is an excuse to have sex right away to cure you. It's practically the cure for the common cold. Having sex stimulates those wonderful pleasure endorphins as well as antibodies to protect you from getting the flu or a cold. Once-a-week sex produces 30% higher levels of immunoglobulin A, boosting the immune system and fighting off disease. Sex can relieve a stuffy nose; it's is a natural antihistamine. It can even help combat hay fever and asthma. After frolicking under the sheets, your hormone prolactin surges and fires new neurons in the brain's olfactory bulb. This means after doing the horizontal hustle, you have a heightened sense of smell. In fact, after sex all your sensitivities are heightened, including activating your taste buds. Sex can also help protect those pearly whites, so you have better teeth. And it doesn't get much more all-natural in ingredients than the minerals in semen, such as zinc and calcium, that have been proven to slow tooth decay. Selenium, an ingredient found in semen, might also serve in protection against cancer.
Sex Reduces Prostate Cancer Risk-Men in their 20s can cut their chance of getting prostate cancer by 1/3 by ejaculating more than five times a week. But older men also benefit from frequent sex, as 21 or more orgasms a month are linked to a much lower prostate cancer risk. The more he climaxes, the less likely he is to develop prostate cancer.
Cuts Risk Of Breast Cancer & Gives Better Bladder Control- Sex can help reduce the risk of breast cancer for women who have never given birth. A study showed that if a female increases the frequency of sex, she decreases the risks of breast cancer. Sex strengthens the pelvic floor muscles that control the flow of urine. Kegel exercises occur naturally during sex, giving women better bladder control.
Sex Boosts Confidence- When things are great in bed, your confidence will increase. Sex therapist Sandor Gardos says, "When things go well in bed, you feel more confident and powerful in other parts of your life."
Sex Boosts Energy & Helps You Sleep Better- For women, the testosterone absorbed from semen can boost her energy. For men, the more sex he has, the more testosterone he produces which is the driving factor responsible for his sexual desire. Both parties get an energy boost from sex. However, sex also helps you sleep better. The oxytocin released during big O also promotes sleep. Insomniacs, regular romps are the all-natural and most assuredly the best way to help you catch that needed shuteye.
With all that said, the next time you think sex is just something to do, consider the health facts. It's meant for us to have great sex! Its meant for us to make out! Stop thinking so hard and bust a nut. It a literally kill you faster holding out.

Good to know: Mirror legislation
Older vehicles that do not possess an EU registration, require a minimum reflection area of 60cm² (just over 9in.²) on each of their mirrors. An European approval emblem is not absolutely necessary. Current scooter models are all registred according to EU legislation. The mirrors that are attached to them must have EU approval markings.
Mirrors that have less than a 60cm² reflection area or no EU approval markings are not meant for (leagal) road use.
The minimum number of mirrors required depends on the first day of registration
* "registered according to EU legislation" are vehicles since 01.10.2005. Check your registration certificate for the EU entry (digit K).
